EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Jean-Paul Ferrero, we witness the incredible threat display of a female Kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus) from New Caledonia. This endemic bird species is known for its striking appearance and unique behavior, making it a true gem in the rainforests of New Caledonia. As the photographer approaches to capture this rare moment, the fearless mama Kagu takes on a protective stance, ensuring that her precious chick remains safe from any potential harm. With wings spread wide and beak pointed assertively towards the camera lens, she showcases her unwavering dedication to parenthood. The adorable little chick peeks out from their cozy nest nearby, ready to explore the world after just two to five days. It's truly heartwarming to witness such tender moments in nature! Endangered and endemic only to this region, these crested birds are an important symbol of conservation efforts. Through his lens, Jean-Paul Ferrero beautifully captures not only their stunning beauty but also highlights their need for protection. Let us celebrate this remarkable display of parenting and defense as we marvel at these magnificent creatures thriving amidst lush rainforest canopies. Nature never ceases to amaze us with its wonders!
